Formation of the Second Form of the Past Conditional

 * The second form of the past conditional is a compound tense- it consists of two verbs, the auxiliary verb and the past participle of the verb one seeks to use in this tense.
 * The auxiliary verb is conjugated as if it were being used in the imperfect subjunctive.
 * The past participle is added immediately after the auxiliary verb.
 * A negative structure such as ne ... pas is always placed around the auxiliary verb, immediately before the past participle.
